How do I set a catalog Variable value with an inbound email script action?

[Mark_Bailey]

I need to set catalog variable when an inbound email action occurs. I've tried various scripting syntax and failed each time. Im trying to set a check box on the catalog item already submitted to True when this script processes.  

Type: CheckBox

Question: Department created on PS

Name: Department_created_PS

Cat Item: General Accounting New Department

When the inbound action is triggered here is the script after trying many versions.

1. gs.include('validators');

if (current.getTableName() == "sc_req_item") {        

                            current.work_notes = "reply from: " + email.origemail + "\n\n" + email.body_text;

                            current.u_Department_created_PS = "true";  

current.update();

1. event.state="stop_processing";

}

Mark,

If its a Catalog Variable, you need to do something like:

if (current.getTableName() == "sc_req_item") {      

                            current.work_notes = "reply from: " + email.origemail + "\n\n" + email.body_text;

                            current.variables.Department_created_PS = "true";

current.update();

event.state="stop_processing";

}

if (current.getTableName() == "sc_req_item")

{ current.work_notes = "reply from: " + email.origemail + "\n\n" + email.body_text;

current.variables.Department_created_PS = "true";

current.update();

event.state="stop_processing";

I changed to this, and it processes but does not check the box as true.

Mark,

Can you try this line:

current.variables.Department_created_PS = true;

No luck.  

I don't think gs.include would have anything to do with the failure, but I have to keep that in for the inbound action to process.

gs.include('validators');

if (current.getTableName() == "sc_req_item") {

  current.work_notes = "reply from: " + email.origemail + "\n\n" + email.body_text;

  current.variables.Department_created_PS = true;

      current.update();

  event.state="stop_processing";

  }
